Project Construction Constructability Procedure

1.0 PURPOSE
The main objective of constructability is to proactively engage construction expertise during the design
process, such that when design is completed specific attributes related to constructability and preassembly
are incorporated.

This procedure applies to works performed under all Government construction projects executed
throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

For the purposes of the Construction Management Procedures the Project Management Company is the
Entity Project Management Organization (EPMO) appointed by the Entity and references prefixed with
“Site”, such as Site Construction Department, Site Engineering Department, represent the Project
Management Company at Project level, on construction sites.

2.0 SCOPE
This procedure covers the suggestions, ideas and opportunities related to constructability including but not
limited to the following:

 Determining the optimum sequence of construction


 Incorporating Best Practices while reducing construction complexity
 Integrating Safety requirements into the design and purchasing cycles
 Optimizing workforce efficiency (at workface)
 Identifying opportunities to preassemble work offsite
 Evaluating capabilities of remote preassembly shops and yards
 Performing technical studies for heavy haul and logistics
 Supporting Materials Management through evaluation of traffic and logistics
 Evaluating options for by-product management and recycling
 Optimizing the asset reliability
 Integrating the asset operation and maintenance requirements into the design

The majority of the Constructability process and the value impact it brings, occurs during the design phase
and before the construction phase. However, the process is available and should be used, where relevant,
throughout the construction phase. It is important therefore that those who are or will become members of
the Site Construction Department, Site Engineering Department and Site Contracts Department, are aware
of the Constructability process and how it is administered pre-construction.

6.0 PROCESS/INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 Constructability Suggestion Process

6.1.1 Suggestion Process

A constructability suggestion may positively or negatively impact the budget or schedule of specific
departments or disciplines. To ensure the implementation of an approved constructability suggestion, the
same will then be approved as a Trend so that appropriate adjustments in affected budgets and schedules
can be made.

Attachment 3 – EPM-KCC-TP-000013 – Project Construction Constructability Check List Template


(Sample) provides some examples to assist the constructability suggestion process.

6.1.2 Submittal, Review and Approval Process

The "Constructability Team" will be assembled from representatives of the Project Management Company
Engineering Department, Construction Department and Project Controls Department, Designer and others
as required to perform a review of the suggestion and collect any backup data required to support the
suggestion through the approval process. Note that during the construction phase, the above will be
referred to as Site Engineering Department, Site Construction Department, Site Project Controls
Department.

The Originator of a constructability idea / suggestion is to complete part 1 of the Constructability Suggestion
Form as shown in the Project Construction Constructability Suggestion Form Template (Sample)
Attachment 1 and submit it to the Constructability Coordinator.

The Constructability Coordinator will assign a log number and allocate the suggestion to the appropriate
category. The suggestion is then entered into the Constructability Suggestion Log as shown in the Project
Construction Constructability Suggestion Log Attachment 2 to track the process through the approval /
disapproval phase. The Constructability Coordinator shall distribute the suggestion to the Site Construction
Department, Site Engineering Department, Site Project Controls Department and other personnel as
required.

Site Project Controls Department will develop an order-of-magnitude cost and schedule impact of the
submitted suggestion if the Constructability Team deems that the suggestion has specific merit.
